Artworks
Creation of Sioux Tempestt’s mural at the Whitford Library
The Whitford Library’s foyer and external entrance walls have been transformed by Perth artist Sioux Tempestt.
Inspired by the stories of local residents, the intent of the imagery and colour palette is to highlight the uniqueness and beauty of Joondalup and its diverse community, in particular the coastal areas around Hillarys, and their influence on the lives of residents past and present. Sioux also incorporated photographs from the City’s Local History collection in the design.
Your Libraries act as venues to view some of the City’s current Public Art Collection such as paintings, photography, mosaics, murals and sculptures. Take a tour of the art collection on display in the Joondalup Library and Local History/Reference area or search the City’s register.
